According to his death record, Christopher was the son of John and Eliza (Morgan) Gorman.
In 1850 Christopher married Elvira H. Allen of Freeman, Maine. This couple appears to have had five children born from 1852 through 1862. Their young daughter Florence died in 1859 at age two. The Gormans resided in Greene.
Christopher served in the Civil War. He enlisted September 8, 1862 and was mustered out July 15, 1863. This regiment was engaged in guard duty, appears to have seen no action, and all men lost were due to disease. He later received a pension.
After Elvira died, Christopher appeared in the Turner 1900 census as living with widow Clara Crockett, who is buried in this cemetery near the Gormans. That census says Christopher owned the house, and that Clara was his servant. That contradicts newspaper articles that say Clara had long owned her home. It is likely the census taker made an error.
